what a difference a couple inches makes....

Thanks pal. Agreed. First week of Dec 3-6" is a great win. No matter what one run "showed". Same to you and yours.

After looking over the 12GFS again, that saying "the hits keep on coming" comes to mind. Several chances beyond next week. Looks like we get out of the winter gate runnin in the right direction for sure. Who wins....dunno, but likely will have an active pattern/board. Another glance at tellies while not overly supportive of troughing in the east, they are headed twds neutral, and MJO also headed into favorable 7 which is a colder signal. How it all rolls....gonna find out in a few days. Once again, Happy Turk Day to my fellow weather homies. Much to be thankful for.

Yeah, all we can do is look at large scale features and sort them out before we start the backyard stuff. Safe to say many/all backyards will be white and thats a big win this early. Verbatim entire sub is gettin some snow. As Mag suggested, its a progressive pattern, so while 6z snowmaps were a virtual pants tent....one should use much caution when observing. IMO 12z a much more believable/achievable scenario. Im headed to cabin Friday, so I'll be looking from afar. Hope you guys can reel this one in for us.

Nice trends continue on nooner GFS. Still plenty of sorting out, but the look is not hard to stare at for this early in the season.

was looking at 0z and 6z and yeah...like wowzers. If 1/4 of what is advertised materialized, we'd be gettin outta the winter gates w/ some zip.

Last year i did one on my OK Joes stick/offset smoker along side of my Green Mtn pellet smoker. Fun to play/learn w/ both. Pellet is MUCH easier, but offset/stick is MUCH smokier. If you have a pellet smoker, get a heat blanket for it....its a game changer in cold months. Truth told, i now keep it on all year. Pellet saver as well.

I smoked 2 turks yesterday. Today is fast day to offset yesterdays gluttony.... Happy Turk week gang.

address?? J/k...

Fair and valid point, but Franklin checked many boxes out and how did it work for him? Mind you I liked JF, but Smith deserves a chance. Like TT suggested, give him a 2 yr deal, and fluff it up w/ bonuses for late season success and roll em.

not that it means anything, but he just won me over. Mind you, i dont follow nearly as deeply as you guys do, but that was a great showing against a good team.

also in regards to Dec chill being advertised, fwiw, tellies are supportive of Ens guidance, so while not a lock, I'd say we may be loaded :).

if i may, its cooldown part 2. verbatim we cool for turk day into weekend, then a brief warmup as the calendar turns to Dec. AOA 12/3-4 we get 500mb pattern depicted above.

ditto. I've picked more off of me in my time afield this fall, than I have in quite some time. then theres that new tick that says "no more meat for you"...meat eater. That would really suck.

thick ass blanket of frost on way to work. F dem ticks...
